The LA Times and TMZ say that ReliaStar Life Insurance Co. has yet to pay on the 10 million dollar life insurance policy taken out by Heath Ledger. The New York City medical examiner ruled his death an accident, but now ReliaStar has launched an independent investigation to determine if he in fact took his own life.
(RelaiStar) is being sued over failure to promptly pay that claim … the lawsuit says that ReliaStar is acting in bad faith by launching its own investigation into the actor's death.
The suit was filed by a trustee for Matilda, 2, Ledger's daughter with actress Michelle Williams. The money would go into a trust set up for Matilda.
ReliaStar's lawyers are going to try to take depositions from Mary-Kate Olsen, as well as that mysterious masseuse who made the calls to her from Ledger's apartment, costars on his last film, his agents, doctors, psychiatrists etc.
At least they were nice enough to put on a big charade before not paying. Most insurance companies would put a finger under their nose as if it were a mustache and then then say No Speaka English, or just throw a cat at you and then run the other way when you show up for you check that they agreed to give you.
Boring.
Fucking INsurance companies!
And now I just heard the Government rejected the $700 Billion Buyout.
Looks like I'm going back to porn to make extra money. Or maybe, make a sex tape with Britney!
I had no idea my claim he haunted me in my dreams would be taken seriously
Wait I was FIRST, I am somebody, I am important, I am cool, fuck you bastards.
This is what insurance companies do. They take your money and then when a claim is made they fight that sht to the death. They send McGiver after you…literally, that was McGiver's job. He used to go after drugged out actors and investigate them so their toddler children don't get any insurance.
Doc, is that a picture of father daughter day at the beach? Just kidding, glad to see your still alive.
mac,
the stock market is plummeting faster than pepper's pecker inside of a poodle at a county fair dog show.
<<<<–me and the fine Tengo
The only thing insured about insurance companies is that they will screw you on the front end AND the back end…
Why so serious?
Sorry…couldn't resist. I was distracted by those ginormous clown shoes he's got on in that pic. Jebuz! Look at the size of those damn things!
wow that's some dirty shit. Congrats to me for holding off on a "why so serious?" joke. it would have been an easy laugh, but I decided to take the high road.
Chimimotherfuckinchanga!
Yeah, InsurCo's suck & then fuck everyone over… but hell, I don't blame them. I don't think he did intentionally take his own life, but who knows what's in anyone's head? Ever.
$10Mill… a man alone… a bunch of pills… yeah, of COURSE they're going to look into it. It's all going into a trust the daughter can't touch for at least 16 years anyway… fuck this, a "trustee for Matilda"…. right. Next headline immediately following the potential payout:
"Trustee for Matilda Files for Immediate Release of Funds"
snorting xanex, coke, and taking a few(10) oxycontins CAN kill you sometimes.
Depends on how much you weigh and whether or not you've been portraying a psycho for awhile.
I almost die everyday in other words. Who cares anymore? I saw the movie….they had 15 chances to blast him in the face before the boring ass car chases.
Jen…since Dawson dumped you for Joey and you tend to like the artsy sweet types that abuse your pussy like Don Juan with a horny goatweed injection,
pm me baby. mwah
I dont care how good he was in batman, ledger was an overrated ass and Im happy he's gone.
DD, are you topless in that pic. If so can we see please.
No Scum…not topless. Tube-topped.
no one even talks about Harvey Dent.
ReliaStar has launched an independent investigation to determine if he in fact took his own life.
" we belive that Heath after making a hit second movie and was on his way to stardom decided to say "fuck it" then took his life, while getting a masseuce from a girl"
I got a masseuce once…. The cops made me give her back.
